PR06 - (Fake-Sphynx)

CALGARY. x-10s. Two women in Alberta say they are victims of a scam after they bought pricey, hairless sphynx kittens that later grew fur. Shayla Bastarache (bast-ER-ash) of Calgary bought what she thought were two sphynx kittens for 650-dollars each on Kijiji last month. She says she met the unnamed seller at night in a gas station parking lot an hour north of the city.

TAG: She says about two weeks later, the cats had hair. Another woman says she paid 800-dollars for a sphynx kitten from someone else who had earlier bought it off Kijiji. A veterinarian believes that cat was likely shaved or doused with a hair removal product.
